Posters you still think about

Yes- someone accidentally resurrected a zombie thread about something dull AF- car seats I think- and there was a comment from years ago by artandco with her kids ages on it and it didn’t tally at all with her kids she wrote about the whole time. Someone challenged her and it all sort of unravelled and she disappeared, never to be see against To be fair she was pretty clearly, at the very least, grossly exaggerating.

@GlitchStitch yes, Artandco turned out to be a troll. That one surprised me TBH. If I were going to invent a fantasy life, I'd make it more interesting than living in a tiny flat in London with two little boys whose main characteristics seemed to be that they stayed up until 10:00 every night and were very adventurous eaters. 😂

It all ended well.

16yo DS and his GF (an update thread) | Mumsnet

It makes me so sad to see how many lovely MNers we have lost. 😥💐

The poster who apparently lived in a 1 bedroom apartment with her 2 young sons and her husband. They all shared a large bedroom. She used to post all the time about living in central London, eating out all the time, having a full time nanny etc. Was it artandco or something like that? Was she outed as a troll?

Oh... one I think of regularly is the woman whose young daughter suffered severe injuries at a family BBQ. I hope your daughter has grown up to be amazing.

Was DaughterDrowninginJunk the poster with the controlling mother/ family who kept forcing her to take clothes/ furniture that they were getting rid of?

I remember it being very sad as she just kept saying she couldn’t say no and she couldn’t get rid of anything, and her house was so cluttered it was unsafe. She couldn’t accept that she didn’t need her mother’s permission to do things.

Yes, she did that clever name change

I remember Sarah Stratton who I think had a horse riding pic - in the days when we had them

Fluffydressing Gown (you are missed big time)
The Australian (think purple was in their name) whose son had a controlling GF.

No one in particular I pop in and out to read & post. I don’t retain it or think about posters. I use mn recreationally for chat. Have enough in RL to occupy me. MN is online chat not an invested relationship

A lady years ago now- maybe 7 or 8 years ago now I think back, as my now almost 10yr old was about 2ish- who had twins of a similar age to my daughter. Her husband had left her totally unexpectedly after starting a relationship with a colleague who he proposed to almost immediately. He was head over heels for the OW and finally unrepentant, it was horrible. Gave there the runaround about seeing their twins too, as I recall. Her name had "Rose" in it, I'm pretty sure. I think about her often.

I sometimes think of Earthmotherimnot and what a lovely lady she was 💔

Purplelamoshades, she us still on here, thread no3. She updated a few weeks ago, son still with controlling GF.

NRTFT so someone else might have said it but I really had to wrack my brain to think of this. I eventually came up with the man holding baby Athena one from the 90’s when I realised you meant actual people, not pictures you stick up on the wall!

@merryhouse
Who was that? I hope it had a happy ending, and she found some things she wanted and achieved them.

That's another one I remember, I'm so sorry to hear this is still ongoing and that her DH died.

Does anyone remember Gabby Loggon? I believe that poster was a he and he wrote the most hilarious stream of consciousness posts.

Oh I remember some of these. Yes, the lady whose ex took even the chutney while she was pregnant (and whose OW was also pregnant at the same time!) posted for years after, she may well still post occasionally. Her son is probably about to turn 10 now! Her ex has no contact at all with them.

I remember Mrs Koala and her children with unusual names. Yes, her life seemed chaotic, she had a DH who did something in the military if I recollect or had a senior civilian role there and who was useless on the domestic front and seemed to add to the problems, I believe at least one of her kids is ND, haven't seen her post for ages, hopefully as her kids grew up a bit life became slightly calmer.

A lot of the threads mentioned here, including some of the most dramatic/heartbreaking ones, were troll threads. Obviously, not all of them, e.g., Claire and Pamela were sadly both real and I hope their families are doing all right.

The lady who posted the Lobster boy thread has been active in Relationships under a different posting name, it’s still very much ongoing.

Pamela, Keir and Jacob. Think about them often. Such an amazing writer and she so wanted to live.

Oh and Marslady. I loved her. We had some great chats

I have been on here for 23 years under various names.

Pamela, Keir and Jacob I still think about all the time. It was such a sad outcome and she so desperately wanted to stay with her family.

From back in the day there was Thomcat who had a daughter with downs. Her posts were poignant and also really funny.

There was Custardo. Moondog who was always really miserable. Katzgutz. Xenia. Riven and Willow.

I loved Shiney and the penguin thread. I think I am friends with Shiney on Facebook and she is still absolutely hilarious.

There was a poster who sticks in my mind because she gave me such wise and kind advice years ago. I think she was called something like Pictish.

I also remember the Jenny wren poster. So sad.

I beleived it! Hope the son is dping as OK as possible today xx
